It goes without saying that cars that have been sitting for longer than anyone can remember don’t necessarily come in the best shape, and when this happens, the owner has basically three options.
First of all, they can sell the car to someone who’s willing to give it a second chance. Most often, these vehicles don’t cost more than a few thousand dollars, especially if they’re full of rust.

Then, these models can be restored to the factory specifications, but only if they are complete and still sport the original engine under the hood. Again, it all depends on their condition as well.

And last but not least, they can be saved as part of a restomod package, most often when there’s no longer an engine under the hood.

This appears to be the case with this 1970 Chevelle that has clearly been sitting for many years. eBay seller herbschopshop doesn’t provide such information, but on the other hand, they say the car is a red-on-red Chevelle that sported bucket seats, a white top, and AM/FM stereo.

In other words, it was born as a high-optioned model, and this makes it an even more compelling project car.

On the other hand, the photos in the gallery pretty much speak for themselves and show this Chevrolet Chevelle is quite rusty, so it’ll need new quarters, floor pans, and possibly even more. The interior doesn’t look good either, and major fixes will be required here too.

The owner, however, says the car is ready for an LS6 upgrade that would eventually make it worth a small fortune. The LS6 isn’t included in the deal, but it’s available separately if you’re interested in such a restomod.

The price of the car isn’t exactly low, and whoever wants to take this Chevelle home needs to pay close to $17,000. That’s super-ambitious, to say the least, though the owner has also enabled the Make Offer button just in case someone is interested in a different deal.
